Neon was discovered in 1898 by William Ramsay and Morris W.Travers. William Ramsey was a Scottish chemist (1852 - 1916) and Morris W. Travers was an English chemist. Neon was discovered when Ramsay chilled a sample of the atmosphere until it became a liquid, then warmed up the liquid and captured the gases as they boiled off. The three gases were krypton, xenon, and neon.
